My me...I guess I don't get grossed out easily. My mentor had us interns collect road-kill while out doing field work. We used her tiny 2-door Civic and it was a stinky affair, especially in the heat of summer. I imagine it was an odd sight to see a gloved hand holding a dangling, mangled carcass out a car window on old back roads. She'd time the development of the maggots and ID the flies from the carcasses, so she'd have baseline data for when the coroner called. She kept pre-rotted liver in her freezer at the ready to finish rearing any flies she collected from corpses.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700728271731802119.post-15077206108454127002011-01-24T01:10:09.337-08:002011-01-24T01:10:09.337-08:00Awesome post, professor!
